Recently the New York Animal Medical Center made a study of 132 cats over a period of five
months.
make?a?study?of?sth 对什么作出研究
over a period of five months
All these cats had one experience in common: they had fallen off high buildings, yet only
eight of them died from shock or injuries.
in common = the same
fall?off 坠落,掉落
die?of?+ illness, disease, hunger, thirst
die?from?+ shock, injures, wound
Of course, New York is the ideal place for such an interesting study, because there is no
shortage of tall buildings.
Shortage(n.不足, 缺乏)= lack(n.缺乏, 短缺),两个词都和of搭配
-- Shortage of money led to the failure of the experiments.
资金缺乏导致实验的失败。
There are plenty of high-rise windowsills to fall from! One cat, Sabrina, fell 32 storeys, yet
only suffered from a broken tooth.
32 storeys
suffer?from 遭受什么痛苦
-- A lot of people in the world are suffering from terrible disease.
‘Cats behave like well-trained paratroopers.‘ a doctor said.
behave like = act like
well-trained 训练很好的,well-decorated 装饰漂亮的
It seems that the further cats fall, the less they are likely to injure themselves.
the?more...the?more...(用定冠词the +形容词或副词的比较级)
-- The harder you study English, the better you can learn it.
-- The more you eat, the fatter you will be.
be?likely?to?do 有可能如何(强调可能性)
-- In cold winter, we are likely to catch a cold.
In a long drop, they reach speeds of 60 miles an hour and more.
and?more 甚至更多(= more than 60 miles an hour)
At high speeds, falling cats have time to relax. They stretch out their legs like
flying squirrels.
at high speeds
stretch??out 充分伸展
This increases their air-resistance and reduces the shock of impact when they hit the ground.
Special difficulties 难点
so, such, such a, such an
1> so
2> such (fun是不可数名词)
3> such an (exhibition n.展览会)
4> so (twin n.双胞胎中一人)
